Most Valuable Piano Tuner: Kenny Williams.
Part of our wish list this year is to recognize Kenny Williams. We bet he’s tuned piano for each of the 30 plus Jazz Fests (give or take a few) here in Syracuse. He’s an expert at his craft,but he’s also an all-around cool guy. We wonder what it will take to get him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Festival?

Buckwheat on Percussion: who knew the brother was unce, tyce, and fee times a beast not just on the accordion, but also on the Hammond.
Here’s the answer to that age old question: who shot Buckwheat? Buckwheat Zydeco, that is. We did. He is an incredible performer and showed out for a fantastic Syracuse show (with a few encores). Buckwheat (aka Stanley Dural Jr) was given a proclamation by Frank Malfitano last night which made Friday, July 17, 2015 Buckwheat Zydeco Day.
The band moves on to Canada for a few shows next week.
Buck (the man, the performer), put in a swamp romp performance at day one of Jazz Fest.
